WPL Auction: Ahead of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction to be held on Saturday, former India women’s head coach WV Raman believes defending champions Mumbai Indians will be aiming to pick three-four players and develop their skills so that they can serve the side for a long time.

Ahead of the auction, Mumbai retained 13 players while letting go of Heather Graham, Dhara Gujjar, Sonam Yadav and Neelam Bisht. They have vacant player slots in the form of four Indians and one overseas with the remaining purse of INR 2.1 crores.

“I think they’ll use this auction for investment and they’ll unearth a diamond like they always do. They’ll pick up 3-4 players for the future and develop their skills so they can serve them in the years to come.”
